ManvsMini Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 And the answer post for questions 311 through 317: Question 311: What's the actual term for a leopard's spots? Answer: Spoiler Rosettes, so named as they resemble a rose. Question 312: Johann Sebastian Bach wrote a comic opera about which beverage? Answer: Spoiler Coffee. Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht (English translation: Be still, stop chattering), BWV 211, commonly called the Coffee Contata, comically tells the story of coffee addiction. Question 313: What was the first country to make broadband internet access a legal right? Answer: Spoiler Finland. On July 1, 2010, all Finnish citizens gained a legal right to access a 1 Mbps (megabit per second) broadband connection. Question 314: In Norse mythology what did Odin trade an eye for? Answer: Spoiler Wisdom, or a drink from Mimir's well that contained much wisdom. A common theme with Odin is his self-sacrifice to gain wisdom and knowledge throughout mythology. Question 315: What make of car are the B-52's driving in the song "Love Shack"? Answer: Spoiler Chrysler. "I got me a Chrysler, it seats about twenty" and "Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale, And it's about to set sail". Takes them all the way to that funky little shack... funky little shack... Question 316: What types of formations can have the names tabular, blocky, wedge, dome, pinnacle, dry-dock, growler or bergy bit? Answer: Spoiler Icebergs. Question 317: 48 years passed between the invention of food-preserving tin cans and what else? Answer: Spoiler The can opener. Peter Durand, a British merchant, received the first patent for the idea of preserving food using tin cans on August 25, 1810. It was made from wrought iron with a tin lining. They suggested using a hammer and chisel to open it. Fast forward to 1858 when iron cans began to be replaced by thinner steel cans, and not long after the first can opener was born. An American inventor, Ezra J Warner developed a blade that pierced the lid of the can, whilst another component sawed around the edge. Seven questions asked, seven answers provided worth one point for each correct answer. Brings the max total points possible to 325. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
